At this time of year, many people are enjoying their holidays both in and out of the UK.
Unfortunately, whilst most of us are able to relax at this time of year, some people are unfortunate enough to be injured or become ill on holiday and may be wondering how to go about making an accident claim.
When an illness or accident happens because of somebody else's negligence, the process of making a claim can be daunting and confusing.
This is especially true when the accident or illness happened in a different country.
Luckily, with the help of a good accident claim solicitor the process of making a compensation claim does not have to be as complex as it could be.
Furthermore, a lot of legislation is on the victim's side.
Remember first of all that if the accident occurred during a UK holiday then the claim is made in the same way as any other accident claim.
Injuries and illnesses caused by another person's negligence in different countries are slightly different in that accident claims are subject to the law of the relevant country.
However, the UK does have some legislation allowing victims to launch an accident claim in the UK against the organisation responsible for the accident.
This allows victims to claim against package holiday companies and tour operators, for example.
The responsibility to protect patrons from injury and illness extends to holiday companies in other countries as well as the UK, so victims can still make a claim and should not be daunted by the process of doing so.
